Headword:
cuilolli.
Principal English Translation:
a piece of writing, a painting, or something with a design (see attestations); the initial "i" on this word drops away before tla-, as in tlacuilolli, which has probably contributed to the evolution of the word cuilolli
Orthographic Variants:
icuilolli
Attestations from sources in English:
'tlahtohchîmalli ihcuilôlli' = le bouclier royal décoré de motifs = the royal shield decorated with patterns
